RECOMMENDED NAMING CONVENTION (.his, .lin, .bin, etc.)

 

The protocol for naming files during a DSI session includes attaching suffixes to the file names that specify the file types. Examples of suffixes include:

 

Example: When reading in a line data file, DSI prompts for a line data file name (all file Names in that directory with the suffix .lin are listed in the options area).  The user then selects the appropriate file name. This practice makes the file name selection convenient and organizes the user's work directory.
